Andrew Shaw scored on a deflection at 12:08 of triple-overtime to complete the Chicago Blackhawks' comeback in a 4-3 win over Boston in Game One of the Stanley Cup finals.

Jason Kidd is back with the Nets, this time as head coach. Kidd retired earlier this month after one season with the New York Knicks, his 19th in the NBA. He spent 6 ½ seasons with the Nets, averaging 14.6 points, 9.1 assists and 7.2 rebounds while leading them to the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003.

NASCAR driver Jason Leffler has died following an accident last night during a dirt car event at Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey. The 37-year-old Leffler was a two-time winner on the Nationwide Series and finished last at Pocono over the weekend, his first Sprint Cup start of the year.

Ndamukong Suh says he wants to lead the Detroit Lions with his actions and mouth. The former Nebraska Cornhusker seems to be doing that, going to the front of the line for drills and shouting words of encouragement to his fellow defensive linemen. In Suh's first three seasons, he deferred leadership roles to veterans Kyle Vanden Bosch, Corey Williams and Cliff Avril. Those three defensive linemen are gone, leaving Suh with a chance to lead. Detroit defensive end Willie Young has seen Suh take advantage of the opportunity during this week's minicamp. Suh says his path to leadership at Nebraska followed a similar path. He spoke up rarely in his first two years before becoming a vocal leader as a junior and senior for the Cornhuskers.

Linder says they will prevent public health and environmental problems by eliminating tire piles.

Picnics and barbecues are a lot of fun, but there is nothing fun about contracting a food-borne illness at a summer event. Registered Dietician Vicki Brown with Faith Regional Health Services says it is important to keep the cold foods cold, and the hot foods hot. She reminds barbecue chefs to NOT put the cooked meat on the same tray used to hold the raw product, and to be careful about cross-contamination of fruits and vegetables with cutting boards and other utensils used to handle raw meat.
